“…Although the overall rate of SIB does not differ between people with ASD and those with ID or other neurodevelopmental disorders, there is a significant subgroup of overlap among those with both ASD and ID (MacLean et al 2010). Individuals with cooccurring ASD and ID are likely to display higher levels of SIB than those with ASD or ID alone (Rojahn et al 2010).…”

The objective of this review is to consider the psychological (largely behavioral) and biological [neurochemical, medical (including genetic), and pharmacological] theories and approaches that contribute to current thinking about the etiology and treatment of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and/or intellectual disability. Algorithms for the assessment and treatment of SIB in this context, respectively, from a multidisciplinary, integrative perspective are proposed and challenges and opportunities that exist in clinical and research settings are discussed.

“…It is important to make the distinction that the function of self-injury is different for individuals with ID in comparison to typically developing children. For children with ID, the act of self-injury (e.g., head banging, hitting self, biting self, self-scratching) primarily includes physical (e.g., escape, relief, sensory stimulation), social (e.g., attention seeking, social reinforcement), to verbal functions (e.g., communication, desired outcome) (MacLean et al 2010;O'Reilly et al 2010). Conversely, self-injury for typically developing youth may serve as a way to attain emotional relief.…”

“…It has also been observed that individuals with ID are more likely to engage in problem behaviors such as aggression and self-injury due to more severe ID symptomology (Kurtz et al 2011;Kurtz et al 2003). The prevalence rate of self-injury among children with severe ID is around 17-30 % (MacLean et al 2010;Oliver et al 2012). Among youth with ID from ages 13-17, the prevalence rates for suicidal ideation are 22-60 %, while suicidal behaviors range from 17-48 % (Ludi et al 2012).…”

“…The average lifetime prevalence of this pathology is estimated at 18% (Muehlenkamp et al, 2012). SIB is frequently, but not always, associated with clinical conditions such as borderline personality disorder (Krüger et al, 2014), anxiety disorders (Bentley et al, 2015), and developmental disabilities (MaClean et al, 2010). In the general population, SIB prevalence rates vary both as a function of age, being more common in adolescents and young adults (Swannell et al, 2014), and ethnicity, being more common among Caucasians than Arabs or African Americans (Kuentzel et al, 2012).…”

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a pathology observed in both humans and animals. In humans, SIB has been linked to various mental health conditions that are also associated with significant sleep disruption. In rhesus macaques, SIB consists of self-directed biting which can range from mild skin abrasions to wounds requiring veterinary care. However, only one study suggests possible sleep disruption in macaques with SIB. We evaluated sleep disruption using a noninvasive system (infra-red camera and a video surveillance program) which created videos for every movement over the nighttime hours. Nighttime activity was examined in 13 macaques (three females) of which six were classified as having SIB (one female). Each monkey was studied for a total of 6 nights spanning a period of 4 months. Measures included total movement time (TMT), time moving in the first hour (HR1), time moving in the last hour (HR11), and number of videos <10 secs, ≥10 secs, and ≥30 secs in length. Overall, SIB monkeys had higher TMT (p < 0.01), higher HR1 (p<0.001), and generated more videos ≥10 secs (p < 0.01) and ≥30 secs (p < 0.01). Thus, SIB monkeys showed significant sleep disruption. A four-fold difference between SIB and control monkeys in the ≥30 secs videos revealed many more significant awakenings in the SIB group. Overall higher nighttime activity, in the first hour but not in the last hour, is consistent with sleep-onset insomnia in humans. Whether increased nighttime activity contributes to the SIB condition during the day or, conversely, SIB causes higher nighttime activity remains undetermined.
